Karachi: United Kingdom has changed Study visa polices because of a lot of false applications scam in last few years. The british government also warned students applying for visa to stay away from brokers who taking part in completely wrong methods. Many agents misguide students and soon after they deal with difficulty. The united kingdom Regional Manager for Visas and Immigration, Mandy Ivemy disclosed surprising facts while speaking in press conference at British Deputy High Commission.

Mandy Ivemy told that UK received around 16,000 students’ applications in 2012. UK Government released 16000 VISAs to students which is 68% of total applicants. On other hand, she also disclosed that in 2012, 3,000 applications from Pakistan contain artificial documentation. This is too much shame for Pakistan as no proper filtration process in Pakistan to scan these types of scammers.

Now if British government will receive student Visa application with fake papers, the applicant will be ban for 10 years, Ivemy said.

The visa process takes 15 business days or 3 weeks but most students go panic, she said. Illegal Overstay is another problem in UK and many Pakistani students don’t return Pakistan after expiry of Student VISA. Ivemy said we have no option other than deport for students who illegally stay in England after completion of VISA.

UK Government is going to launch Financial Bonds system to counter illegal overstays. Now students need to pay these bonds to give surety about their seriousness. Ivemy also clarified that sometimes we ask students to pay 3000 pounds.
